    Just passed ECE Organizational Behavior! With a B!!!!

    My first upper level credits! I can't describe the feeling.

    I was deathly scared of this test and read how hard it was. I found the secret recipe (at least for me) to passing.

    Know the instantcert cards in and out,backwards and forwards. I combined it with an organizational behavior audiobook. http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/pro...B VCookie=Yes

    Audiobook was reasonable I could pay for whole book or chapters. Each individual chapter was about $2.99. The whole 19 chapter book is I think $20.00 It's amazing what a bit of narration can do to cement the ideas. I think the audiobook really complemented the instantcert cards. I also took the practice tests.

    So recipe for success on ECE Organizational Behavior = instantcert cards + audiobook + practice tests!

    Just took the Humanities exam and.... I passed with a 50! I thought I had totally failed but to my surprise, I beat it! Who says cramming the night before doesn't work? Okay, maybe not English Comp with Essay but it is not my first language.

    Default Whew!

    Thanks so much to Instantcert for the feedback on the marketing and business law tests!

    I passed with a 64 in marketing and a 68 in Intro to Business Law. I was so nervous I could barely stand.

    Used IC, wikipedia, and Peterson practice exams for the business law.

    I thought that the business law was hard and could not believe I did better on it than I did on the marketing.

    Took: DSST Criminal Law 57
    DSST Intro to Law Enforcement 69

    Both As at EC.

    Studied Instacert, Cliffnotes (as suggested in the specific feedback section) and also used (www.expertlaw.com). I studied for a total of about 5 days and really did not think they were hard at all (finished both tests in about 90 minutes total).
    A lot commonsense questions but read the feedback section as it is a very accurate summary of what is on the test.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Default Passed Statistics

    Passed DSST Statistics today with a 62. This test is no joke, I wouldn't have been surprised if I had failed. Good luck to all who attempt it. Next up for me: Ethics in America & Research Methods of Psychology (not sure which to take first)

    Just learned I passed Astronomy today! Easy exam but many tricky questions! Hope Statistics is not going to be as hard as I think!

    Default Passed by a hair...

    Just to update everyone, I passed the Personal Finance Dante test. I scored a 48, needed a 46 to pass. I barely passed even after endless hrs of study. Needless to say, I am happy I passed but disappointed in my score. I am ready to start studying for my next dante test and will try my best to pass.
